Over saturation of housing and the never ending road construction on Western end of Northlake, Bee Line, and Blue Heron Blvd.

1 month ago 28

You used to be able to drive along Northlake Blvd heading west out past Ibis and there were farms. Lots of road stands selling fruit and vegetables. About 2 years ago a large trac of land was sold and they are building a huge housing development named Avenir.

The problem is if you live at this point of Northlake you have no way out or in unless you take a long, long route that eventually brings you to Okeechobee Blvd. Your only practical escape route is Northlake. So the construction on the 3 mentioned roads has be going on for a few years to widen the roads to handle the huge increase in traffic. It will continue for many more years before completed.

Are we ever going to reach a point when we finally stop building on every inch of vacant land. A friend was recently down for a visit with the intention of possibly relocating to WPB. I discouraged them because it so much more congested then when I moved here a decade ago.
